Kshurika Upanishad: Verse 19
छिद्यते ध्यानयोगेन सुषुम्नैका न छिद्यते । योगनिर्मलधारेण क्षुरेणानलवर्चसा ॥ छिन्देन्नाडीशतं धीरः प्रभावादिह जन्मनि । जातीपुष्पसमायोगैर्यथा वास्यति तैतिलम् ॥१८–१९॥
छिद्यते । ध्यान-योगेन । सुषुम्ना । एका । न । छिद्यते । योग-निर्मल-धारेण । क्षुरेण । अनल-वर्चसा । छिन्देत् । नाडी-शतम् । धीरः । प्रभावात् । इह । जन्मनि । जाती-पुष्प-समायोगैः । यथा । वास्यति । तैल-तिलम् ।
chidyate dhyānayogena suṣumnāikā na chidyate | yoganirmaladhāreṇa kṣureṇānalavarcāsā || chindennāḍīśataṃ dhīraḥ prabhāvād iha janmani | jātīpuṣpasamāyogair yathā vāsyati tailatilam ||18–19||
ध्यान योग से नाड़ियाँ काट जाती हैं, सुषुम्ना नहीं काटती। योग से साफ़ चाकू से, आग जैसी चमक वाले से, सौ नाड़ियाँ काटनी चाहिए। इसी जन्म में, जैसे तिल के तेल में चमेली की खुशबू आती है।
By the yoga of meditation (dhyāna-yoga) [the nāḍīs] are cut; the suṣumnā alone is not cut. With the razor—whose edge is purified by yoga and whose brilliance is like fire—the steadfast one should cut a hundred nāḍīs by its power here in this very life, just as sesame-oil is perfumed by contact with jasmine flowers.
